Quote was separated into different areas: 1)Drywall, mud, tape and finish for paint in mud room,paint 2)Repair damaged drywall on ceiling in kitchen, paint 3)Repair damaged freshly on basement stairs,paint Every step was itemized and had the price next to it so if I thought paint was too much, I'd be able to remove that option. At the end, you pay for any items they needed to purchase to compete your job. I opted for all three items to be completed and also asked for additional things to be added throughout the projects (trim, baseboards, crown molding, paint) and they accommodated every aspect (with additional cost, of course). 2 guys were here for about a week and they were both extremely respectful of the property (booties, cleaned everything, busted ass)..they even asked to use the bathroom every time even though I don't think that was necessary (there was a language barrier of Ukrainian/Russian, so made it a bit hard to know closet meant bathroom lol). All in all, I would highly recommend this company. Photos attached of mud room from where I left it (exposed drywall) and finished product.

They took out the original floor- tile and mortar bed, all the way to the subfloor.

We are thrilled with the job they did; cleaned up every day and start to finish only took four days. We recommend without hesitation!

I'm extremely disappointed with how OnDeck handled an issue with our ScreenEZE installation. The…read moreinstallation crew themselves were very nice and professional, which makes the way the situation was handled afterward even more frustrating. We have a mid-century modern home with a very specific exterior aesthetic. One of the defining characteristics of the house is the clean, minimal exterior detailing, and we have been very intentional about keeping window and trim elements flush and visually unobtrusive. OnDeck installed the ScreenEZE system using an exterior corner-mount method that left a substantial amount of dark metal visible around our white openings. At no point during the sales process was I told that OnDeck only installs the system this way, nor was I told that there were different manufacturer-approved mounting options that would create very different finished appearances. During the installation, I was surprised by how much visible metal there was, but I assumed that once everything was complete it would look more like the clean installations shown in ScreenEZE's own marketing materials. I did not realize there was another mounting method that could have substantially reduced the exterior metal because that option had never been discussed with me. I only became aware of the inside/flush-mount option after the project was essentially complete, when I received the installation instructions from OnDeck. Those instructions clearly showed more than one installation approach. When I raised the issue, the initial response was not simply, "We prefer another method." I was first told that I was confusing my installation with a different product/system used for other applications, including arched openings, and that I had not purchased the product I was referring to. I was the one who had to point out that the inside-mount option I was asking about was shown in the installation instructions OnDeck itself had given me at the end of the project. I then contacted ScreenEZE directly to understand what was actually possible. ScreenEZE told me that, when installed correctly and in the appropriate application, flush mounting is a manufacturer-approved method, is covered under their 10-year warranty, and is considered just as reliable and durable as a corner mount. After I brought that information back to OnDeck, their position became that flush mounting is simply not a method they choose to perform because they believe their corner-mount method is superior. That is a perfectly reasonable company preference -- but it should have been disclosed before I hired them. Had I been told, "We only install ScreenEZE using an exterior corner mount, and we do not offer the inside/flush-mounted option," I would have immediately discussed whether that approach aligned with the architecture of my home. If it didn't, I would have hired a different installer. I was never given that opportunity. My first conversation with Phil after raising the concern was extremely defensive. At one point I had to tell him that I did not appreciate being spoken to as though I were a "dumb housewife." The conversation felt dismissive rather than solution-oriented, which was especially disappointing because I was genuinely trying to understand what had happened and how we might fix it. OnDeck also told my contractor that correcting the installation would essentially require replacing everything. Since they were unwilling to offer a workable solution, I contacted another local screen contractor. That contractor was able to reuse the existing metal, replace only the screen material, and move the entire installation inside the openings with two installers in one day. The cost to me was an additional $2,800. I asked that $2,000 be held back from OnDeck's final payment to account for part of the additional cost I had to incur to achieve the installation I originally expected. Rather than having a meaningful discussion about a compromise, I received a notice of lien for the $2,000. What makes this especially disappointing is that I understand what it means to run a small, family-owned business. I run businesses myself, and I know how important trust, communication, customer service, and your word are to building a reputation. Mistakes and communication breakdowns happen. What matters is how a company responds when a customer raises a legitimate concern. I was completely willing to work toward a fair middle ground. Instead, I felt dismissed, given conflicting information, and ultimately forced to find and pay another contractor to solve a problem that could have been avoided entirely with one conversation before installation. My issue is not that OnDeck prefers the corner-mount method. My issue is that this preference materially affected the appearance of my home and was never disclosed before the work was done. Unfortunately, based on how this was handled after the installation, I would not recommend OnDeck.

My situation involved a leak that was coming down into my living room ceiling. I wasn't sure where it was coming from but assumed it was the fireplace. I contacted another company that had done work on my home previously. Long story short, they were super dishonest and wanted me to do way more work than needed, quoting a very high price. We contacted Patryk after seeing his truck in the neighborhood, and he communicated very nicely. He came over, popped up on the roof for an inspection, and saw that the siding needed replacing. He pointed out that the other stuff quoted by the previous company wasn't necessary. Honesty is what we got here with Always Quality Construction. As for the work, it was perfection. He got a great color match, the work looks fantastic, and everything was clean when he left. I have more projects planned and will continue to work with them. They are now my go-to for all siding, roofing, and anything else they'll do! Highly recommend!

This proved itself to be the case throughout thr process: He kept in constant communication with us and his craftsmanship was impeccable. Do not start a siding job without meeting with Patryk first.

We were remodeling our basement and got several quotes, but Chris immediately stood out with a fair, reasonable price and a thoughtful approach that made us feel comfortable right from the start. What really set Chris apart was how involved he was before the work even began--and all the way through the project. He offered great design and layout suggestions we honestly wouldn't have thought of on our own, from flooring choices to lighting to small details that made a big difference. He also helped design the space so it functions like three different rooms while still feeling like one connected, open area, which completely changed how we use it. His team was on time, professional, and incredibly respectful. They put down protective matting as they went in and out of the basement, swept the floors daily, cleaned up debris as they worked, and treated our home with real care. They even took their shoes off before coming inside. It genuinely felt like they were remodeling their own home, not just doing a job. The crew truly felt like family, and the before-and-after transformation of our basement is incredible. There were also a lot of thoughtful touches that really stood out. On days when we weren't home, Chris and his team would bring our garbage cans up near the house on collection day, which was completely unexpected and very appreciated. Even after the basement was finished, they helped move furniture and larger items downstairs, which felt truly above and beyond. Our dog even loved them--and he's a pretty good judge of character. Throughout the entire process, they were consistently kind, considerate, and easy to have around. One highlight that still amazes me: Chris and his team stained the basement stairs to perfectly match our first-floor stairs. I honestly didn't think it could be done, but they took their time and absolutely nailed it. The drywall and framing work were done beautifully, and what really stood out was that Chris came back later to check on everything and make small touch-ups, just to be sure the work held up. That level of pride and follow-through is rare. They painted the ceiling black and were meticulous--no missed spots, no shortcuts. Everything was done with care. We agreed on a timeline, and they started when they said they would, finished on time, and left the space spotless when the job was done. To make things even easier, we simply picked out samples from Home Depot, and Chris and his team handled all the materials. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. All we had to do was make one call, do a little planning, and enjoy our new basement one to two weeks later. And honestly, our basement is now one of our favorite parts of the house. It's peaceful, quiet, and truly enjoyable. What we expected to be just a more functional space turned into a place we actually love spending time in. The whole experience felt exciting--almost like Christmas morning--watching it come together. The results completely exceeded our expectations. We're really happy we chose Chris and his team for this project. The experience was smooth from start to finish, the quality of the work speaks for itself, and we'd absolutely work with them again if we ever take on another remodel.
